While trying to throw a line to a steam launch, Joseph Blackwell, a quartermas ter on th6 transport Warren, at anchor In the stream off Folsom street, lost his balance and fell into the bay. The only vessel wrecked as a result of the gale was the bay schooner Fannie, which had taken on a cargo of 70,000 feet of lumber for Stockton, and was lying at section A of the seawall. The Fannie now lies sub merged, with a great part of the lumber floating in the bay. The worst damage to any wharf was inflicted by State Pile Driver No. 2 upon Melggs' Wharf. The waves carried the plledriver against the wharf with such force that the big stringers were quickly smashed, and a hole at least 15 feet deep through piles and heavy timbers was made before the gale subsided. The new Filbert-street wharf, now under construc tion, was damaged to the extent of about 510,000. The barkentlne City of Papete and the schooner Alice collided In Mission Bay, and dragged their anchors. At Oakland long wharf, the force of the blow was hardly less severe than on this side of the bay, though few vessels were thcre to feel its effects.

Robertson Determined in His Salt Asrninst State Land Board. SALEM. Jan. 29. The mandamus suit brought by Dr. C. H. Robertson against the State Land Board about six months ago was today appealed to the Supreme Court.

The first pur chasers were more than a year delin quent on their payments, and Robertson asked that their certificate of sale be cancelled and that he be permitted to purchase the land. The board refused to cancel the certificates until the first pur chasers had been given notice of their delinquency. Robertson then brought a mandamus suit, which was decided ad versly to him by Judge Boise.

No Political Significance Attached to Appointment McBride Will Retain " Adjatant-Geacral Drain. OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 29. Governor McBride today made one of the most im portant appointments within his gift when he named Grint Neal as a member of the State Board of Control. In making the appointment, the Governor said to press repxesenta lives: "Grant Neal, Auditor of Skagit County, will be appointed a member of the Board of Control. Mr. Lister and Mr. Drum will tender their resignations, to take effect at my pleasure. The resignation of ono of these gentlemen will be accepted to take effect February 1st, and Mr. Neal RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF NORTHWEST FRUIT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. DR. N. G. BLALOCK, will take his place. The object of making the change now is this: I want the new member to visit the state Institutions In company with the other members and myself." Just when the resignation of Drum or Lister will be accepted is not certain. It Is generally believed that Neal will take Henry Drum's place. Mr. Lister has about a year to serve to complete his term, while Mr. Drum's term was for four years, and he has been In office not quite one year. He is chairman of the Demo cratic state committee, and Is therefore thought to be more "offensively parti san" than Lister, besides the latter has a more Intimate knowledge of the duties of the position than Drum because of having served much longer on the board. The appointment of Mr. Neal has no political importance. He comes from Governor McBride's home town and coun ty, and Is a personal friend. Drain to Be Retained.

His appointment was for the period ending January 15, 1905, but it was ex pected that the new Governor would de sire to make a new appointment Gov ernor McBride has, however, listened to the voice of the National Guard of the state, and made the announcement today after being convinced that General Drain was proficient and popular with the Guard all over the state.

STOMACH g CONSUMPTION ACTUAL The last United States mortal ity bulletin shows a marked de crease in the number of deaths from consumption. Ten years ago the official rec ord showed the annual number of deaths out of 100,000 popula tion to be 245. The recent bul letin shows that only 190 now annually fall victims to con sumption out of the same num ber of Inhabitants. In 1S90 the average life was 31.1 years; now It Is 35.2 years. These facts point unmistak ably to the actual retreat of the grim monster Tuberculosis, which is responsible for tho largest number of deaths from various diseases. The honor of thus effectively arresting the progress of this fatal malady rests with the wonderful system of treatment which has been reduced to an exact science for thecure of consumption and for the cure of catarrh and other prevalent conditions which pave the way Dr. T.
